Player News
Carlos Quentin could return without DL trip
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:03 pm ET) Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin was a possible disabled list candidate upon suffering his left shoulder injury last Friday, but manager Bud Black told MLB.com Wednesday he thinks Quentin can return in "a couple of days." Quentin should begin swinging a bat soon, but still has no concrete timetable for his return. 

Jedd Gyorko nearing a return
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:02 pm ET) Padres infielder Jedd Gyorko has been making progress in his recovery from a right groin strain, and hopes to come off the disabled list when first eligible June 25, according to MLB.com.

Gyorko did some work Tuesday, putting in time in the batting cages and infield, while sprinting in the outfield, the first time he was able to run at full speed. His workout Wednesday was a bit lighter, and the team plans to "ramp up" his workouts beginning Thursday.

"I hit on the field, took ground balls right at me. It feels good. The training staff has done a great job. It's feeling a lot better than it did the first four or five days," Gyorko said. "I turned some double plays, which was good. I took balls further to my left and right. I did some light sprint work in the outfield. It was good to pass that test. Hopefully I'll keep progressing."

Gyorko will likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, though that is not a guarantee. Even if he does go down to the minors, it would likely be just a brief trip, given the relatively short time he has spent on the disabled list so far.

"I don't see any reason why I can't come back and pick up right where I left off. It might be tough to get that timing back right away, but hopefully that doesn't take too long," he said.


Trevor Cahill shouldn't miss much time
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(7:47 pm ET) Diamondbacks starting pitcher Trevor Cahill is expected to be able to make his next start, according to the Arizona Republic. Cahill left Wednesday's start after just one inning of work, after being hit on the right hip by a line drive.

Manager Kirk Gibson told the Republic that Cahill's injury is serious, but he was pulled from the start to ensure that he did not change his mechanics while throwing to compensate for the hip soreness.

His next start is scheduled for Tuesday against the Nationals. 


Randall Delgado not guaranteed another start
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(7:26 pm ET) Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson acknowledged Wednesday that Randall Delgado could get another chance to start, but he is not yet ready to confirm who will take the mound Sunday against the Reds.

"We haven't talked about it," manager Kirk Gibson told MLB.com. "It's possible he could start again, but it hasn't been determined. A lot depends on how we get through the weekend."

Delgado allowed just two runs in seven innings of work Tuesday against the Marlins, but might be needed to pitch out of the bullpen prior to Sunday, especially after Trevor Cahill lasted just one inning Wednesday. Delgado fought for a spot in the rotation in spring training, but could no win the No. 5 role. 


Asdrubal Cabrera ready for live batting practice
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(7:19 pm ET) Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (quad) is expected to take batting practice Friday for the first time since he landed on the disabled list June 4, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. 

Cabrera, out with a right quad strain, could be cleared to return to the roster for the Indians in around two weeks. He hit in the batting cages and ran in the outfield Monday. 


Luis Mateo's season ends with Tommy John surgery
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(7:13 pm ET) Mets pitching prospect Luis Mateo's season is over, after he underwent Tommy John surgery last week, according to ESPN.com. Mateo appeared in four games between Class A St. Lucie and Double-A Binghamton before suffering from elbow inflammation.

This operation will likely keep the 23-year-old Mateo out until at least next June, an unfortunate outcome for the organization's No. 4 prospect according to Baseball America. He has a 2.55 ERA in 29 appearances in the minors since his professional career began in 2011. 


Yoenis Cespedes still not 100 percent
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(7:08 pm ET) Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes got the start for the sixth consecutive game as the designated hitter Wednesday in Texas, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Cespedes is back in the DH spot upon the recommendation of A's trainers, according to manager Bob Melvin.

Cespedes' left hamstring is still not 100 percent, though Melvin doesn't believe the issue is hindering his performance. That said, Cespedes has gone 3 for 20 over five starts as the DH. It could be that he hits better when he's playing the field.

"He always wants to play in the field," Melvin said of Cespedes. "Is he getting antsy? I don’t know. … When you’re in the field, you’re always doing stuff, you have a feel for the game. When you DH, you feel like you’re pinch hitting four times."

Melvin said, hitting well or not, he's going to continue penciling Cespedes' name into the lineup. "Regardless, when he’s in the lineup, we’re a better team whether he’s swinging the bat well or not,” Melvin said.

Jason Bay sitting against Angels
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6:57 pm ET) Mariners outfielder Jason Bay (hamstring) continued to miss time Wednesday in Anaheim. Bay sat out for the third straight game and is day to day. Bay is hitting .222 with eight homers and 17 RBI in 167 at-bats.


Michael Morse in lineup for Mariners
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(6:56 pm ET) Mariners first baseman Michael Morse returned to the lineup Wednesday in Anaheim. Morse has been dealing with a nagging quad injury, but returned batting fifth and starting at first. 

Morse has been in and out of the lineup due to the injury and is hopeful to put it behind him. He has a .255/.314/.461 with 11 homers and 23 RBI in 54 games entering Wednesday. 


Eric Chavez progress nicely
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(6:47 pm ET) Diamondbacks third baseman Eric Chavez has recovered well from a right oblique injury, and he told MLB.com Tuesday he could begin a minor-league rehab assignment soon. Chavez has been able to take part in most baseball activities in recent days.

"Everything has been good -- hitting, running, throwing," Chavez said. "I didn't know really what to expect, but [it's] gone really good."

Chavez has been out since May 30, and thinks he will only need a few days of rehab to get his timing back once he is healthy enough to go out.

"I told [manager Kirk Gibson] as far as timing is concerned, I don't need much," Chavez said. "For me, it will be more how does a check swing feel, how does a swing and miss feel, how does a 2-0 swing feel, all that stuff more than my timing. It doesn't take me long. I've only been out three weeks or whatever, so it's not going to take long."
